CCGS attendance
Attendance system for Catholic Church of the Good Shepherd, Moba, Lagos, used when lockdown rules eased. Originally on Heroku; now local-only, with stats exported to a spreadsheet.
Software developer (volunteer)
- Django
- HTML
- CSS
- JavaScript
Problem
The parish needed to record who attended as capacity rules loosened after lockdown — not a tutorial app, a tool the church could run.
What I built
- Built a Django app with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for on-site staff.
- Hosted on Heroku during use; the same codebase still runs locally.
- Exported attendance stats to a spreadsheet for parish records.
Outcomes
- Used by one parish during a real operational constraint.
- No longer publicly hosted; the repository remains the source of truth.
A parish tool, not a tutorial
When COVID capacity rules eased, Catholic Church of the Good Shepherd, Moba, Lagos needed to record attendance. I built a Django app with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for the people taking names at the door.
It ran on Heroku while the parish used it. The same project still runs locally. Attendance stats were exported to a spreadsheet — the format the church already knew how to keep.
There is no live host today and no user-count to quote. It was used in one parish, during a real constraint, by people who were not software engineers. That is the whole story.
